Perinatal Transmission |
Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit Case 2: DiscussionUse of Rapid HIV Testing for Women in LaborUnfortunately, some HIV-infected women present at the time of labor and delivery (L&D) without having undergone prior HIV testing; behaviors that contributed to their lack of prenatal care, such as substance abuse or mental illness, may also have placed them at increased risk for acquiring HIV. For those women who present at the time of labor without prior HIV testing, rapid HIV testing now provides a means to promptly identify previously undiagnosed HIV-infected women in whom antiretroviral therapy could provide substantial benefit in reducing maternal-to-child HIV transmission. Three rapid HIV tests are now FDA-approved and available for use in the United States: OraQuick Advance Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test, Reveal G2 Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test, and Uni-Gold Recombigen HIV Test[1]. Available data from clinical licensure trials have shown the OraQuick test to have a substantially lower proportion of false-positive results when compared with either the Reveal G2 Rapid test or the Uni-Gold Recombigen HIV Test[1]. In addition, validation testing of rapid HIV assays, including these three FDA-approaved assays, has shown variable performance based on the specific assay used and the background HIV prevalence in the setting of the testing, with Oraquick demonstrating the highest positive predictive value at all prevalence levels (Figure 1). In the Mother-Infant Rapid Intervention At Delivery (MIRIAD) study, which involved women in labor with undocumented HIV status, rapid HIV testing was well received, feasible, and performed with greater than 99% sensitivity and specificity[3]. Based on these results, along with strong evidence that antiretroviral interventions can reduce the risk of perinatal HIV transmission when initiated in labor, rapid HIV testing is recommended for all women in labor who have undocumented HIV status using an opt-out approach (perform testing unless the woman declines). If a woman in labor has a positive rapid HIV test, the clinician should initiate antiretroviral prophylaxis using intravenous zidovudine (Retrovir) without waiting for the confirmatory HIV antibody test result. Antiretroviral Prophylactic Regimens with Presentation in LaborBecause most maternal-to-child HIV transmission occurs shortly before or during labor, HIV-infected women who present in labor with no prior antiretroviral therapy can still derive major benefit from receiving antiretroviral therapy. The decision regarding whether the mother should undergo cesarean delivery in this setting is discussed in detail in Case 3 in this same Perinatal Transmission section. The 2005 Public Health Service Task Force Guidelines lists four possible intrapartum and postpartum antiretroviral regimens for use when started in labor (Figure 2). Epidemiologic data have established benefit for women presenting in labor with the use of zidovudine alone, and clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa have established benefit in similar situations for the combination regimen of zidovudine plus lamivudine (Epivir) and with nevirapine (Viramune) monotherapy[4,7,8,9,10]. In addition, zidovudine plus nevirapine is listed as a theoretically effective regimen. After the publication of these guidelines, results from a trial in Africa showed similar transmission rates when infants received single-dose nevirapine with or without 1 week of zidovudine; in both groups the mothers received single-dose nevirapine prior to birth if they presented early in labor[11]. The Public Health Service Task Force Guidelines have provided a detailed summary of these four regimens (Figure 3), but there are no comparative data. In the United States, the most commonly used regimen for women presenting in labor consists of zidovudine by intravenous (IV) infusion during labor and delivery, followed by 6 weeks of zidovudine oral suspension for the newborn (Figure 4). This regimen is the same as the second and third components of the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group (PACTG) 076 protocol[7]. Although it is difficult to compare results between clinical trials and observational studies and between those conducted in the United States and those in low resource countries where HIV-infected mothers often breastfeed, zidovudine appears to be equal to or superior to other regimens that have been studied for use in this setting. Nevirapine Monotherapy with Presentation in LaborIn resource poor areas, there has been major interest and investigation in simple, cost-effective regimens that do not require the use of intravenous zidovudine or the prolonged administration of zidovudine to the infant. Nevirapine given as a single dose to the mother at the onset of labor and as a single dose to the infant within the first 48-72 hours of life reduced maternal-to-child transmission rates by approximately 50% in the HIVNET 012 clinical trial in Uganda[8]. It is inexpensive, simple, and has a good safety profile (hepatotoxicity has not been described with use of single-dose nevirapine). There are, however, increasing concerns with this regimen because of the high rates of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance that have been documented in both mother and child after only one dose or two doses of nevirapine[12,13,14]. The development of resistance is thought to result from the long half-life of nevirapine, with significant blood levels detectable for up to 3 weeks after a single dose, resulting essentially in prolonged monotherapy with an agent that has a low genetic barrier to resistance. Development of resistance may affect subsequent response to NNRTI-based regimens given for maternal therapy[17]. The recent trial from Africa noted above clearly showed a lower rate of infant NNRTI resistance when the infants took a 1-week course of zidovudine in addition to the single dose of postpartum nevirapine[11]. This study however, did not address maternal NNRTI resistance, nor did it address the impact of adding other antiviral agents, such as zidovudine, to the single dose intrapartum nevirapine. Another recently published trial from Africa showed very low rates of maternal and infant NNRTI resistance with a prepartum regimen of zidovudine plus lamivudine (started at week 32 of gestation), an intrapartum regimen of single dose nevirapine, zidovudine, and lamivudine given at the onset of labor, and a postpartum regimen of zidovudine plus lamivudine given to the infant for 3 days after birth combined with a single dose of nevirapine given on the second day[18]. Taken together, the available data strongly suggest that nevirapine monotherapy should be used only if other intrapartum prophylactic regimens are not available. |

The demarcation point (or demarc or Network Interface Device (NID) for short) serves several purposes: •It is the point that defines the end of the telephone company's wiring, and the beginning of your wiring. •It defines where the telephone company's responsibility for maintenance ends, and your responsibility begins. •It contains a surge suppressor to help protect the wiring and connected equipment in your home from damage •It allows you to temporarilly disconnect your wiring from the telephone company's wiring for troubleshooting purposes. Generally, the demarc is located on the exterior of your home in a grey or black box. Sometimes the demarc may be inside your home in the basement if you live in an older home. If you live in an apartment or condominium, the demarc is usually located in the main telephone room, although in some buildings it may be located in your suite, behind a blank outlet cover plate or in a closet or utility room for example. If you live in a townhouse, the demarc may be located in a common cabinet outside at the end unit. Maintenance of the demarc itself is the responsibility of the telephone company.

Estates woman faces shoplifting, drug charges after arrest at Wal-Mart
A Golden Gate Estates woman is facing numerous drug charges after deputies say she was caught shoplifting from a local Wal-Mart.
Kira Pickett, 24, of the 300 block of Fourth Street Northeast, was arrested Wednesday by Collier deputies at Wal-Mart located at the 9800 block of Collier Boulevard.
According to an arrest report, Wal-Mart's loss prevention notified deputies of a woman, identified as Pickett, inside the store changing prices on items and placing items into her handbag.
A Wal-Mart security officer told deputies that he witnessed Pickett change the price tag on a backpack and then proceeded to the infants department where she took various toys and supplies off the shelf and placed them into her purse. Her final stop was the health and beauty department where she took makeup and nail polish from off the shelf and placed them into her bag, according to reports.
Wal-Mart security told deputies that Pickett then attempted to exit the store through the garden center without paying for any of the items. She was then escorted to the security office where she refused to open her handbag, according to reports.
Deputies said when they arrived on scene, Pickett was placed under arrest for petit theft and her bags were then searched.
Not only were the stolen items found in Pickett's possession but several pills as well, according to reports.
Deputies said they discovered large straws used to snort and ground up pills, a Midol bottle with 24 halves of large white pills and a small green bottle with 22 small pills.
The pills were identified by poison control as oxycodone, Xanax, and hydromorphone, according to reports.
Pickett faces three felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia and petit theft.

So, I finally got our wet bar all set (posted in vain for opinions, well, I guess we all have to make a call sometime!) - anyway, I had it all set with a Manitowoc ice machine on the right side of a U-line 3000 Series combo wine cooler/bev center. But, we wanted it paneled so it was not a bank of stainless on the right and one lone cabinet on the left. Unfortunately, I just realized that the Manitowoc version canNOT be paneled, just stainless. HUGE bummer! What's confusing is the SubZero version which is identical CAN be panel ready - is there any chance the Manitowoc version could be paneled? If not, that would force me up the price chain to the SZ branded version? I *hate* to pay more for a SZ version just b/c of the name but the design in the room really hinges on that panel. SO... How do people like their SubZero 15" ice machines? I hate to pay more for just the brand when it's identical to the Manitowoc but we do want it paneled. The other well-reviewed one that can be paneled is the Scotsman Brilliance model. How loud is this one and can anyone recommend it? layout below attached |
Follow-Up Postings:
IMO SZ/Mani is the 2nd best choice out there. Scotsman is crap. Hoshizaki is your best bet. |
Deeageaux - What about Hoshizaki makes it the best bet? How does it compare to subzero regarding reliability? Thanks... |
Hoshi is the quietest. Not by a lot vs SZ but a lot vs the rest It is about 10% more energy efficient. I spoke to appliance repairmen and they say hoshizaki requires about half the maintenance. How much actual maintanance is required depends on how hard the water is you are feeding it. Hoshizaki also last much longer than Scottsman,KitchenAid etc . I asked them if they were buying one which they would get. Most said Hoshizaki , this from a very pro buy American crowd. Although Hoshizaki is a Japanese co these units are made in Georgia. I researched this to the nth degree before deciding my kitchen was too small for a separate ice maker and got a 24" Gaggenau freezer with in-door ice. |

So, it's funny you mention the Hoshizaki. I went in determined to buy the Hoshi - determined. We are in the food biz as well and know Hoshisaki to be the best at ice, bar none. The guy at my appliance store told me, however, that he believed this unit could NOT be installed as a built in with no clearance above the ice maker. He maintained that it was cooled with air circulation that needed to come back out via the top (it could be flush on the sides) and that if it is built-in, it is going to overheat and will cease functioning. I was very doubtful about that given that you can actually panel it to match your cabinetry - then it would seem to me that it's got to be fine to build in. Could he be wrong about that? I'd love to go back to the Hoshi - it was my TOP choice for sure! I wonder who I could contact to confirm that? Anyone out there have a Hoshisaki undercounter? That was my problem (I couldn't find anyone that actually has one...) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoshizaki AM-50BAE

Actually, it looks like there's a different model number for the one with a custom overlay panel. Link below. |

Have you tried to contact Hoshizaki directly? I'm not sure if they have a specific residential division, but you could certainly just ring them. |
- Posted by akcorcoran (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 3:09
I did try last week but it's so geared towards commercial, I couldn't really find the right person and sort of gave up. I've been poring over the docs tonight and really do think I could build it in and the guy was wrong. Now, we may be right in that it ideally would have more air space around it, but we do have some room above and beside it - it is just filler there to make everything fit. Do you happen to know how one puts a water filter on an ice maker where it's not built in (like the Manitowoc or SZ? My general contractor said I'd likely actually save $ b/c we can install the filter at the water source below and it can be much bigger and last longer, plus I won't pay up for the specific one that pops into the Manitowoc/SZ. But, I'd love to hear from anyone who did an external water filter for ANY model ice maker. We don't have hard water - and actually Baltimore has really great tap water so it's not a filter for that, I just want to make sure the ice is clean in taste. In the end, it takes a custom panel and I'm really excited about the Hoshi SO... I'm glad I posted and you pushed me back to my original plan! I'll report back on our experience! |

The Cosby Show (1984–92)
Under Bill Cosby's insistence that his eponymous sitcom be filmed in New York over Los Angeles, the producers chose 10 Leroy Street in the West Village to stand in for his boisterous family's Brooklyn Heights abode. It was on Leroy Street that a brass plaque reading "Clifford Huxtable, M.D." was placed, but in real life the town house was split up into separate apartments. In 1984, a Brooklyn Heights brownstone like that would have been worth around $700,000—well in the affordable range for an obstetrician and his attorney wife. The same property today might drain the reserves a bit more: now a Brooklyn Heights town house would cost $5–$7 million, according to Corcoran. And that's not including Bill's carefully knit, signature sweaters.

Mixtapes: A Huge Opportunity For Evangelism
Mixtape's have been around since the late 70's, and many artists have found exposure and even gotten recording contracts from being featured on a mixtape. The mixtape in secular hip hop has been a proven outlet to promote your music in a cost effective way. Christian Hip Hop has been tapped into the mixtape game for several years now, however most are utilized to raise funds. With that said, I want to explore another function that Christian artists can use mixtape's for, namely, evangelism. Mixtape's can serve a similar purpose as like chick tracts. They have a message and can be handed out like tracts, anywhere to anyone.

TORONTO — To shake off his slump, Xander Bogaerts had to get rid of his batting gloves.
Struggling hitters will try all sorts of things to change their luck. That Bogaerts came to the plate without batting gloves for several games, starting on a trip to Houston about a week ago, looked like the move of a superstitious hitter desperate for anything.
But there was a method to the madness. The feel of his fingers against the bat served as a subtle reminder for Bogaerts to generate his bat speed with his hands rather than his body — and that, in turn, has helped drive home the need to stay back rather than jumping out at pitches with his lower half.
"I felt like I was swinging more with my body instead of using my hands," he said.
Bogaerts has spent a month enduring the worst slump of his career — including a woeful 9-for-100 in a stretch that lasted more than a month. The slump began with diminished confidence when some batted balls weren't doing his way in mid-June — diminished confidence that might or might not have been affected by his move from shortstop to third base. The slump got worse when he responded to that diminished confidence by jumping at the ball more with his swing rather than waiting back on it and letting his hands do what they've always done.
"When you try to do too much, when the effort level is high, the first you do is go to the ball instead of letting it come to you," Red Sox assistant hitting coach Victor Rodriguez said. "That's mostly what he's doing. He's anxious. He's wanting to do more. Instead of slowing things down, he wants to do more — and the body wants to go and get the ball. When he's feeling good, like right now, he's on time and letting the ball come to him."
Fixing that flaw in his swing started with work in the batting cage. That was an important first step — but only a first step. It took at least a week for Bogaerts to take the swing he'd honed in his work in the cage and make it work against live pitching in games.
"It's different at game speed," Bogaerts said. "In BP and stuff like that, early work, it's a different feeling. You're out there alone with a coach. When it's game time, it's very different."
"It's not that easy," Rodriguez said. "It's easier to do it in the cage because there's no pressure."
What it takes is repetition — and renewed confidence.
As if the Red Sox didn't already value the contributions of rookie catcher Christian Vazquez enough, Rodriguez said he suspected the chance to talk through his struggles with Vazquez, his longtime roommate and best friend in the organization, helped Bogaerts immensely.
"We're like brothers, so we have a lot of trust in each other," Bogaerts said.
All the work Bogaerts has done has started to pay dividends. He hit a home run to straightaway center field at Fenway Park over the weekend. He had three more hits on Monday night at Rogers Centre. He's still hitting about 80 points lower than he was six weeks ago, but he's showing some signs that he's regained his old swing.
"The most impressive one was the breaking ball he hit to right field," John Farrell said, looking back at Monday's game. "He gets his hands back, and there was some leverage behind the swing."
When Bogaerts collected his three hits on Monday, his batting gloves were back on. He'd made the fix he needed to make. He felt good about his swing again.
"Baseball is about feeling good about yourself and trusting yourself," Rodriguez said. "It's not that easy."

Gains Momentum in Dental Schools
Since dentists first began using lasers in the 1990s, much has been said about the technology that allows dentists to do new and better treatments in many areas of dentistry. From less pain, less blood, cleaner sites, faster healing, and greater precision, the benefits of laser dentistry are undeniable. That's why an increasing number of dental schools have introduced laser dentistry into their curricula. But the move into dental schools hasn't been without its challenges. While there's plenty of evidence for laser dentistry's effectiveness over traditional methods in many areas of dentistry, there's not enough evidence-based research into its use in periodontics. Adding a curriculum in laser dentistry also requires the buy-in from administration, as well as costly equipment. To launch a successful program, someone must champion the effort. Here we take a look at a few programs that have met the challenge.
Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health
As lasers have become an integral part of medicine over
the past 10 to 15 years, Dr. Robert Levine wondered about
their usefulness in dentistry. "We use them in ophthalmology
and many surgical procedures. My feeling was,
'Why not in dentistry?'"

I have been growing a variety of bananas here in Long Island, NY for about 10 years. This is the first time I had one flower. It was truly an awesome reward! I have been growing this Dwarf Orinoco for 3 seasons. |

how were you storing them over winter? seems like an awful long time to get to fruit even in zone 6B. Nice fruit bunch..the pup from that one should make a much bigger bunch also |
I dig up in late fall and store in my dark, unheated basement with no care until late March. In late March, I pot up, water, and start exposing to sunlight or artificial HID metal halide grow light. I plant in the ground around the second or third week in May. |
- Posted by miketropic 6B - 7 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 21:06
good method just seems like you should have gotten fruit much sooner than 10 years |
This was the third year with the dwarf Orinoco. I am also growing saba, ice cream, musa basjoo, and ensete maurelli. I have never had any one of these flower. The basjoo's typically die back to the ground each winter and despite best efforts, I typically lose most of the pseudo stem on the saba and ice cream when stored indoors. I have great success storing the ensete maurelli indoors but they don't want to flower. |
- Posted by miketropic 6B - 7 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 2, 13 at 1:34
saba and ice cream as well as some like praying hands are not good storing types. orinoco and cali gold seem to be some of the best as well as velentina and a few other orn. types. might try a d brazilan as well |
Im still waiting for my first to flower. I am also on Long Island. Been growing banana's for a few years. This year I have a few nice sized Ensete Maurelli that I would like to over winter. They are still in the ground as of now. really havent had the first frost yet. How do you over winter yours . |
Liplanter, Mine are still in the ground too. I have 14 ensente maurelli's and they are very easy to overwinter. After the first frost, cut off all leaves close to the pseudo stem. Leave the last unfurled leaf alone. Dig up and store in a cool dark location like an unheated basement. You can water once over the entire winter. Pot up in late March, water, and slowly start to expose to sunlight. Plant outside in early May. |
Rokal After digging them up . Do you pot them up in something like peat moss or just leave bare rooted. I tried this with this type a few years.It was potted up in the same pot it was in all season , moved to the basement and no luck rotted . The basement does have heat I guess . I always keep a few smaller ones under grow lights. This year I was thinking of digging them up and keep them outside in a unheated garage in peat moss as long as possible. The garage stays above freezing unless it get really really cold. Im going to try this way with a few other types I have . The basjoo and velutina Im going to overwinter outside. Thanks for any pointers ( I thought we were zone 7) |
I did them up, cut off all leaves except the newest unfurled leaf, and store them bare rooted. I place them on a tarp in a dark corner of the basement. My basement is unheated but my oil burner and grow lights are down there and give off some heat. It never drops below 50 degrees. |

I really feel for people in cooler climates to try and grow plants that are from the tropics. I understand the joy to see tropical plants grow and produce against all the odds. Good luck to everyone that experiments and "has a go" at trying to achieve the unachievable. Having come from a cooler climate in a southern Australian State and doing what you are doing reminds me of what I went through. Forty years later I am now in the sub tropics in Northern Australia and growing what I only dreamed about growing including bananas which take about one year from planting the corm to fruiting which alaso takes about 4 months or so. Keep up the good work and never let the dream die. |

ANZALS arranges a leisure studies conference to be hosted somewhere in either Australia or New Zealand every two years, usually during odd numbered years. For information about past conferences please click here.
ANZALS 12th Biennial conference, 2015, University of South Australia, Australia
Theme: Leisure as a Human Right
10 – 12 December 2015, Adelaide, South Australia Hosted by School of Health Sciences, University of South Australia The right to access and participate in leisure is enshrined in a number of international conventions and declarations beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) – Articles 24 & 31. While there has been global consensus that access to leisure is a human right, there still remain a number of challenges and issues that individuals, communities and nations face in relation to fulfilling this right. The focus of the conference is to provide an open and collegial environment where academics, early career researchers, students, policymakers and practitioners can come together to discuss and debate a variety of global and local issues. For example, Asia-Pacific island nations are under threat from the effects from climate change through rising sea levels and more extreme weather event. What role does Australia and NZ have in respect to providing support to island communities' access to leisure, recreation and sport? In relation to culture, arts and tourism First Nations peoples continue to be exploited and used for profit-making purposes by more powerful organisations and corporations. What can and should be done to ensure fair and equitable trade of the intellectual and cultural property of the disempowered? Sport continues to be used as a tool through which 'community development' is being implemented. Is importing non-traditional sport activities 'good' for communities or is it a subtle form of imperialism cloaked in social justice rhetoric?

I also have this in Wheat. I'm a LM Sunny Beige and thought this looked too dark but it goes on lighter than it looks in the tube. It's easy to apply (easier than F.Y...eye due to the wand), and only a small amount is needed. It keeps my shadows from creasing through the day but I do get some creasing by nighttime. It creases a little earlier than F.Y...eye but does seem to keep the eyeshadow colors from fading more than F.Y...eye. It's a toss up as to which one I would repurchase but would repurchase either product gladly.
I have been using Clinique Touch Base for years and recently started noticing more creasing. Additionally the Touch Base seemed so heavy. I purchased Eye Basics in Linen and I love it! It is very light and I wouldn't use alone. It comes in a small lipgloss shaped tube with a sponge wand applicator. I dot it on my lids and blend with a finger or a concealer brush. It keeps my shadow color true and crease-proof! My shadow and liner lasts all day and it doesn't turn a funny color. I am anticipating buying other colors of this, perhaps wheat or pink.
I got this in Wheat, (I'm a Stila 30 watts/MAC NC30) and this is the exact color of my lids !! I was a bit skeptical cause I have super oily lids and didn't think this would hold up ! To my surprise...I was wrong ! The only way I've ever been able to wear eyeshadow has been over MAC's Paints...That was until I discovered Eye Basics ! GREAT product...makes a great shadow base...goes on smoother than the paints...keeps my oilies at bay for about 8-9 hours before my eyeshadow starts to melt off ! I LOVE the packaging cause it's in a tube with a wand (like a wand gloss) so I dab a bit on each lid and I pat until it's all spread out and blended ! A point off only cause this doesn't last on as long as Paints do !
I LOVE these. I own linen and wheat. Linen is lighter than my skin, which i like as a highlighter, and wheat is close to my skin tone. The tube is a little messy, and I only use the wand to get the product to my lid, and then I spread and blend with a concealer brush. My shadow stays for most all day..at least 10 hours, and even if the shadow goes, the LM base is still there, hiding my dark blueish red eye lids. This is a HG for me!!!

I have this in pale pink and wheat. They stay on forever and your eyeshadow will stick like you wouldn't believe. Makes your eyeshadows last longer cause you don't use as much. I dab a little on my lid and rub it in with my finger. Fun to experiment with the different colors. The pale pink adds some color to the shadows, where the wheat is basically my eye color so the eyeshadow color is true. I will be buying these as long as they make them.
This is the best lid primer I've tried yet. It seriously keeps my eyeshadow in place and keeps it from fading. I got it in pale pink so I can also wear the color by itself if I feel too lazy to put on other e/s, but it also looks great underneath some of the e/s's from the LM eye paints set. I like this better than MAC paints because it's not as cakey and blends into my lids easier. I think I might get linen next.
I have this in Wheat. Its a wonderful mattifying lid primer that helps eye shadow to stay the whole day without creasing-which is great because my shadows always seem to dissapear! This stuff is awesome and you only need a little bit! Update: this stuff is infact very good. I have since switched to Urban Decay Primer Potion though.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
As an avid exerciser, I got tired of reapplying makeup throughout the day. Then I purchased Eye Basics in Mocha. This shadow does not come off until you remove it at night - I put it on at dawn, go through a full day including workouts and a nap, and it doesn't even crease. My only complaint is that the applicator does not really work for the product, using a brush is much easier although you must work quickly as the product dries fast. Love it.
This looks great alone or under eye shadow. Alone, it makes my lids look smooth and covers discolorations. Under shadow, it holds the color in place. I have it in wheat, which matches my skin color pretty well, it just brightens my eyes in a natural way.
I agree with everyone who thinks this is the best eye primer on the market. Many days, I wear it alone without anything other than eyeliner. I'm using Linen but I'd also like to get Wheat. LM's also just come out with three additional colors. My only somewhat negative comment would be that it seems to disappear by evening, no creasing... just disappears. I'd probably reapply just a little if I was going out for the evening. But for the majority of the day, it looks great. Update (09/25/03): Well, I have to admit that this primer just isn't working. I put some Almay Amazing Lasting concealer on one eyelid and the LM on the other. The Almay side "won" - both in smoothness and how long it lasted. Both faded but the Almay never creased and lasted longer. Plus, I've noticed that LM is beginning to dry out badly - there's lots of dry buildup just inside the neck of the wand. So thumbs down on this one...

Students can celebrate an early start to their summer break this year.
The Fairfax County School Board voted unanimously Thursday to move the last day of school from June 19 to June 15.
"Our school calendar has three snow days built in, and due to very favorable weather this winter — I don't know whether we even had winter this year — we only needed to use one of those three days," said School Board member Ilryong Moon (At-large).
Rather than having the last day of school result in an early release, students on June 15 will attend a full day of classes under the change. Under the new calendar, teachers will have the following Monday and Tuesday as teacher work days.
"I believe that converting June 18 and 19 to teacher work days will be a better use of those two days," Moon said. "They will provide teachers with much needed time to complete end of the year assignments, school improvement planning, teacher planning and collaborative team planning, and any other workload relief that can be accomplished in the schools."
The School Board's vote was supported by the Fairfax Education Association, an advocacy group for county educators.
"Changing the school calendar to convert two student days to two teacher work days at the end of the year is a great idea. … However, this found time should not mean piling on more data analysis and top-down management structures on our teachers," said FEA representative Kimberly Adams, who addressed the School Board before the vote. "Having more time means that many teachers will actually be able to complete all their assigned tasks during contract hours including finalizing grade books to be handed in to administrators, filing student cumulative folders, packing up their classrooms, managing lesson plans for the next year …"
Superintendent Jack D. Dale said one of the two teacher work days will be dedicated to allowing teachers to finish up year-end work. The other day will include some in-school discussion about workplace conditions, Dale added.
School Board members said although most of the feedback they had received about early summer release was for the calendar shift, they also received some emails from parents who were concerned their children would be missing classroom time. Board members said Thursday that the school year is not being shortened, rather days that could have been lost because of snow were gained, and the number of school days would remain the same.
"This is a cost savings," said School Board member Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield District). "This is not being done just to cut the school year short. I don't want anyone to think this is a caviler decision."
According to school system staff, Fairfax County Public Schools will save at a minimum $104,000 in fuel costs needed to bus students to school during those two days. None of the school employees — such as bus drivers, cafeteria workers or custodians — will lose pay because of the two-day cut to student classroom time, Dale said.

Jobs, jobs, jobs: For Obama, they lie in more exports
Forget the jobs bill. Obama's plan to boost exports by breaking down foreign trade barriers is the fastest way to employ jobless American. But will Obama be tough enough for the task, especially with China?
President Obama plans to create 2 million new jobs within five years by doubling – yes, doubling – US exports. To achieve that stunning goal will require him to bang forcefully on the doors of many countries that now block American goods and services.
Is Mr. Obama up to it?
"Commercial diplomacy," to use a polite phrase, isn't for the faint of heart.
Japan (or rather "Japan Inc.") used stealthy means over decades to open markets for its goods. In the past decade, China has imitated Japan in many ways, by discriminating against foreign goods, poaching patents, heavily subsidizing exporters, and setting unfair currency rates. It now accounts for about a fifth of goods that Americans import.
Opening foreign markets is a task that has stymied many US presidents. Obama's goal of doubling exports by 2014 would require a rate of increase not achieved by the United States since the 1970s.
But the payoff could be big. Exports as a share of the US economy are now three times higher than a half century ago. They are 11 percent of gross domestic product, support 10 million jobs, and often pay higher wages. Some economists estimate that more than half of the US economic growth in the last half of 2009 came from exports.
Breaking down trade barriers may be Obama's best path to his goal of creating 95,000 jobs a month. Smaller US firms – the biggest job creators – need special help in learning how to sell abroad. Less than 1 percent of American companies sell abroad, and of those that do, most sell to only one country.
As if in a war, Obama issued an executive order Thursday that includes bold steps to ensure, as he put it, "a level playing field" for US exports.

Could Kentucky lose seven players — five freshmen starters and sophomores Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress — to the NBA draft?
As unlikely as that might seem to Kentucky fans, it doesn't seem that unlikely to some who closely monitor the NBA draft.
Start with ESPN analyst Chad Ford who indicated on ESPN.com Wednesday that UK could lose more than the expected trio of Julius Randle, Cauley-Stein and James Young — all projected first-round picks in every mock draft I have seen.
Ford agreed that Randle and Young are "for sure gone" and put Cauley-Stein in the same category even though the sophomore explained after the title game that there would be reasons for staying in school — as well as having several millions reasons (dollar-wise) for going to the NBA. He has Randle ranked as the fifth best player with Young 16th and Cauley-Stein 19th
"The Harrison twins have wanted to leave all year according to multiple sources around the twins, but their draft stock made them iffy first rounders. I'm not sure it's to the point that they are clear first rounders," Ford said on ESPN.com. "Andrew probably has the most claim, but he's not a lock. Another year at Kentucky would help."
Aaron Harrison Sr. told the Houston Chronicle that he had not discussed the NBA with his sons before the title game and that he expected them to discuss the subject this weekend when the twins likely will come home. Harrison Sr. said about a month ago that he was fine with his sons staying at UK if that was their decision.
NBADraft.net has Andrew Harrison going 27th in the first round with Aaron going in the second round with the 35th overall.
Draftexpress.com has Randle going fourth, Cauley-Stein 12th and Young 17th. Draftexpress.com does not have any other Wildcat going in the first or second rounds. CBSSports.com has Randle, Cauley-Stein and Young in the same slots with Poythress 46th and Aaron Harrison 47th in the second round. CBS has Andrew Harrison as the 61st best prospect — there are 60 spots in the draft.
Most assumed that freshman Dakari Johnson would be back. While he said he had not thought about his draft status after Monday's national title game loss, he also didn't want to say he would be back at UK, either.
"Dakari Johnson would be a bubble first rounder as well," Ford said.
He said he's also heard rumblings that Poythress could declare, but says he would be on the same first-round bubble as Johnson.
"I think there's a chance all of them are gone. There are certainly rumblings that direction. But the only three that really make sense right now are Randle, Young and Cauley-Stein," Ford said.
Players don't have long to make a decision. The draft is not until June 26 but players who wanted official NBA input have already had to request that and will receive by Monday. Those not requesting information have until April 27 to enter the draft.

Well, they're not poisonous are they?
They kinda look tasty =) |
Follow-Up Postings:
When things are tough humans can eat pretty well anything as long as they know what it is they're eating and the plant has not been treated to poisonous applications. For a list just put "plants that humans can eat" into your browser and follow the yellow brick road. And geraniums...i.e. pelargoniums, are on the list. |

A few weeks ago, I read in a magazine that you can make tea from scented geraniums. I assume that pelargoniums can also be used for tea, if that's not what they were talking about in the first place. Has anyone tried this? I recently bought a citronella-scented one, and while I don't particularly think it looks "tasty," I do think that a leaf would add a nice lemony flavor to iced tea. |

I realize this is a garden forum, but we spoke of garden visitors in the past. While walking out of the store, actually two stores, this little guy/girl was sitting on the hot pavement..panting. I walked to my car but felt bad, so went back in the store to buy a bottle of water. I then let him/her drink out of the bottle. He/she did. I waited near my car, then decided to open a box of cereal I purchased, walk back to the area I placed him/her in..on mulch, then gave it a few pieces. I then came home, felt terrible. Drove back to the store, w/a box, then took him home. His/her parents were nowhere near. Does anyone know this bird type and if so, please let me know what it eats. Thanks so much. Toni |

Thank you. I'm going to call a bird rescue center. I don't know what to do with the little guy/girl. I was just near the pet store. Could have bought worms. I tried finding info what wood thrush eat..says they eat insects in summer but wil eat fruit too. I don't know what to do with this little bird. Darn, why did this have to happen??? |
- Posted by asleep_in_the_garden somewhere far away (My Page) on Fri, Sep 6, 13 at 16:51
Happens all the time Toni...just not every little lost soul is so lucky as to cross paths with a caring person like yourself,and I tip my hat to you! :) If t here's a "rescue" in your area(good heavens there SHOULD be),then I'm sure the nice people will take care of "birdie". Good luck and keep us informed please! |

Hi Asleep. Thank you guys. I found a place that takes injured birds. They'll be by tonight between 7 and 7:30pm. Thank God!!! Poor little guy is sitting in a box..probably in shock. I gave him/her a cap filled w/water, moist bread, and some of my bird's food that contains dried fruit. He is cute, :) Thanks so much... |
- Posted by tamela_star Zone 8a (My Page) on Fri, Sep 6, 13 at 17:05
Definitely call them. A healthy bird wouldn't let anybody capture it. Not even a baby. I hope that's not the case, but in may I took in a baby duck that was by itself. I gave it what it needed but it died with in 2 hours. It didn't look sick when I found it, and I was going to take it to a rescue center but it didn't last long. Hopefully your little guy is in better health. |

I'm glad he's getting help. It's a good thing you found him. |

Hi Tamela. Yes, I found a Rescue Service called Chicago Bird Collision Moniters, explained the situation. A second woman called 5-mins later. She'll be here tonight. I'm so happy..only hope the little guy/gal makes it. That's sad about the duck. Did they tell you how he died? It's awful how so many people gives a crap. The mall/strip was packed with people..They just walked on by. Didn't give it a second thought. It pisses me off. |
- Posted by asleep_in_the_garden somewhere far away (My Page) on Fri, Sep 6, 13 at 17:36
My guess is that they are too busy chasing their own tails to notice. It doesn't get the bills paid to take time out to notice,let alone HELP ,and in today's world it seems that most people are in such a hurry trying to get ahead of the eight ball that they are unlikely to notice....anything. It's like the final episode of seinfeld when the gang not only just stands there while some poor sap is getting mugged,but laughs at them! That's people for ya. |

Asleep..you're 100% right. People care about themselves. Dian Fossey said it best. ME I Tis. I like living slow-pace. But, I must admit, when I drive, my speedometer exceeds at least 10 mph faster than the limit. lol Oh yes, the Final Seinfeld Episode. Yeah, I only go places when necessary. One reason I stopped watching the news. People are getting shot while shopping! Walking down the street! Driving their cars! It may sound paranoid, but I'd rather be a little 'noid than gone. |
- Posted by tamela_star Zone 8a (My Page) on Fri, Sep 6, 13 at 18:58
I didn't know what was wrong with it, and it happened so fast that we just buried it. My kids were sad to see it go like that, so we did that for them. I am glad you helped out the bird. It is very lucky that you noticed it was in trouble. |

hopefulauthor, I work among some lawn care guys. You know the stereo type - hard working, tough talking, beer guzzling guys! Then there appeared a scared, scrawny, meowing (orphaned?) kitten. Now there are these rough and tumble guys vying against each other to see who the kitten will come to. They are buying cat food, saving bits of their own lunch etc. And the kitten has grown, appears healthy... but still scared. A remarkable experience for me. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Sep 7, 13 at 9:22
Morning,... You guys are good. The bird is a Wood Thrush. The woman from the shelter stopped by last night at 8pm, and took him/her to safety. I want to thank everyone for your help. After reading about Wood Thrush, there's no way the little guy would have survived here. They migrate in winter. Ronalawn.. How cute. I can imagine these huge guys playing with a kitten. lol. I knew I could count on people here for help. Anyway, thanks again....hugs, Toni |

University Requirements
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher education
Submission of all required admission materials, including:
- Completed graduate application for admission
- $30 nonrefundable application fee (unless you have previously applied to Grand Valley)
- Official copies of transcripts from all institutions of higher education previously attended. Transcripts must be sent from those institutions directly to the GVSU Admissions Office. NOTE: We do not require official transcripts from Grand Valley
- For those whose native language is NOT English, either the Official TOEFL or IELTS score report. Only original score reports will be accepted.
Program Requirements
In addition to the University requirements of admission, all students seeking a degree for the MHA must also meet the following requirements:
- Three references from informed sources
- An essay on career and educational objectives (250 to 750 words).
- A resume
The admissions committee is looking for the evidence that an applicant will be successful if admitted into the MHA program. This evidence can take several forms. Furthermore, the admissions committee considers each applicant as a whole student. No decision is based solely on any single factor. A strong applicant for the MHA program will have the following:
- A minimum 3.0 grade point average from an accredited college or university. (This GPA will include all courses, including those classes that may have been repeated or transferred.)
- Three positive recommendation from well-informed sources such as current and/or former professors or supervisors.
- A demonstrated commitment to the healthcare field. Ideally this would be three or more years of professional work experience since receiving a baccalaureate degree. Lesser professional, volunteer, and intern experiences with health organizations will be considered positively for pre-career applicants.
An applicant concerned about falling short on the above criteria may want to consider these recommendations for securing favorable evidence of their ability to do graduate level work in the MHA program.
- Submitting a GRE score is recommended for applicants who have neither a 3.0 undergraduate GPA nor three years of professional experience. GRE scores of at least 550 verbal and 620 quantitative will be considered favorably.
- Successfully completing graduate-level course work as a nondegree-seeking student. However, 12 credits taken as a nondegree seeking student is the limit that can be applied to the MPA program upon admission.
In some cases, an applicant that is seen as strong except for a specific area of deficiency may be offered admission on a condition that they take a course to rectify that deficiency before proceeding with the MHA course work.
Students may apply online at admissions.gvsu.edu or contact Fran Cain at email@example.com or 616.331.6575 for an application packet. To ensure full consideration for fall admission, all application materials should be received by June 1. Winter term applications should be received by November 1. Spring/Summer term applications should be received by April 1. Early application is strongly encouraged. Late applicants may be admitted on the basis of remaining program capacity.
